12 Claims, No Drawings 2 DERIVATIVES OF 6-OXO-l-CYCLOHEXENE-l- CARBOXAMIDE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to carboxamides and thiocarboxamides. More particularly, this invention relates to new 6-oxo-l cyclohexene-l-carboxamides and 6-oxothio-1-cyclohexene-carboxamides having an aminoakylamino or hydroxyalkylamino radical attached to position 2 thereof, to processes for their preparation and to intermediates used in these processes.

The 6-oxoand 6-oxothio-l-cyclohexene-l-carboxamides' of the present invention are most readily distinguished from compounds of the prior art by the nature of their substitution at position 2 and by their valuable pharmacologic properties. For example, 2-aminoand 2-methylam ino-4 ,4-dimethyl-N-phenyl-6-oxothio-1- cyclohexene-l-carboxamides, i.e., 2-amino and 2-alkyl amino derivatives of 6-oxothio-l-cyclohexane-l-carboxamide, have been reported in a publication by J. Goerdeler and U. Keuser, Chem. Ber., 97, 2209 (1964); whereas the compounds of this invention are 2- (aminoalkylamino), 2-(lower alkylaminoalkylamino, 2- [di(lower)-alkylaminoalkylamino], or 2-hydroxyalkylamino derivatives of 6-oxo- I and 6-oxothio-lcyclohexene-l-carboxamides. Furthermore the carboxamides and thiocarboxamides of this invention possess valuable pharmacologic properties. For example, the compounds of this invention exhibit antiinflammatory and analgetic activities at dose levels that do not elicit undesirable side effects. In addition these compounds exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties.

These properties render the carboxamide and thiocarboxamides of of this invention useful for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and infectious diseases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The carboxamides and thiocarboxamides of this invention are characterized by having an aminoalkylamino, lower alkylaminoalkylamino, di(lower)alkylaminoalkylamino or hydroxyalkylamino radical attached to position 2 of a 6-oxo-l-cyclohexene-l-carboxamide or a 6-oxothio-l-cyclohexene-l-carboxamide with one or two optional alkyl groups at position .4. In addition the nitrogen atom of the carboxamido or thiocarboxamido radical may be substituted with an alkyl, aryl or optionally substituted aryl.

A preferred class of the carboxamides and thiocarboxamides of this invention have the formula:

in which R and R both are hydrogen or lower alkyl; R is lower alkyl, phenyl, p-halophenyl or p-lower alkoxyphenyl; X is oxygen or sulfur; and NH-(Alk)-Y represents an amino(lower)alkylamino, lower alkylamino(lower)alkylamino, di(lower)alkylamino(lower)alkylamino or hydroxy(lower)alkylamino in which Alk is an alkylene radical containing two to four carbon atoms, and Y is amino, lower alkylamino, di(lower)alkylamino or hydroxy.

The compounds of this invention of formula I are prepared by transamidation comprising treating a compound of formula II,

R2 NHR 11 in which R R R-"'and x are as defined above and R4 is benzylor furfuryl with an amine of formula NH -(Alk)- Y in which Alk and Y are as defined above.

According to a further feature of this invention a process for the preparation of compounds of formula II -is provided by treating a compound of formula III NHR III

in which R, R and R are as defined above with an isocyanate or isothiocyanate of formula R'NCX in which taining from one to six carbon atoms and includes R and X are as defined above.

DETAILS OF THE INVENTION The term lower alkyl as used herein contemplates both straight and branched chain alkyl radicals conplates one to six carbon atoms for each alkyl group and includes methylamino, n-hexylamino, dimethylamino, diethylamino and the like.

The carboxamides and thiocarboxamides of formula I in which Y is amino, lower alkylamino or di(lower)alkylamino form acid addition salts with suitable inorganic and organic acids. These salts possess the same pharmacologic activity as the parent base. Suitable acids include hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, lactic, tartaric and citric acids. These salts may be prepared by treating the appropriate carboxamide or thiocarboxamide of formula I with either one equivalent or an excess of an appropriate acid in an organic solvent, for

example, ether or an ether-ethanol mixture. The additions salts thus obtained are functional equivalents of the parent compound in respect to their therapeutic use. Hence, these addition salts are included within the scope of this invention and are limited only by the requirement that the acids employed in forming the salts be pharmaceutically acceptable. Like the carboxamides or thiocarboxamides from'which they may be prepared, the above acid addition salts possess a low order of toxicity.

Antiinflammatory and Analgetic Activities The useful antiiflammatory and analgetic activities of the carboxamides and thiocarboxamides of this invention may be demonstrated in standard pharmacologic tests, for example, the tests described by R.A. Turner in Screening Methods in Pharmacology, Academic Press, New York and London, 1965, pp. 152-163 and 100-1 17, respectively.

More particularly, the antiinflammatory activity of the compounds of this invention may be readily demonstrated in a modification of the Freunds adjuvant test, the adjuvant induced acute edema test as described by JR. Boissier, et al., Therapie, 25, 43 (1970). This test is known to correlate well with data derived from clinical results with humans. Boissier et al. have demonstrated this correlation with such clinically active compounds as phenylbutazone, mefenamic acid, indomethacin, aspirin, hydrocortisone and prednisolone.

More particularly exemplified, a substantial antiiflammatory effect for the compounds listed below is demonstrable at oral doses of 100 mg/kg or less in this acute edema test. In this test male rats are treated with the test compound 1 hour before the injection of Freunds adjuvant into the paw (day The rats are then treated with the same dose of the test compound for the next 3 days. The antiiflammatory effect of the test compound is measured by the reduction of pedal inflammation, see Turner cited above, and expressed as a percent inhibition from adjuvant injected control rats on day 3.

Daily Dose Percent COMPOUND .(mg/kg) Inhibition 4,4-Dimethyl-2-[ 3- (methylamino )propylamino16- oxo-N-phenyll -cyclohexenel carboxamide hydrochloride, Example 65 100 36 4,4-Dimethyl-2-l 3- (methylamino)propylamino16- oxo-N-(p-chorophenyl)-1- cyclohexenel -carboxamide hydrochloride, Example 65. 100 43 When the compounds of this invention are employed as antiinflammatory and analgetic agents in warmblooded animals, e.g., rats, they may be administered orally, alone or in dosage forms, i.e., capsules or tablets, combined with pharmacologically acceptable excipients, such as starch, milk sugar and so forth. They may also be administered orally in the form of solutions in suitable vehicles such as vegetable oils.

The dosage of the carboxamides and thiocarboxamides will vary with the particular compound chosen and form of administration. Furthermore, it will vary with the particular host under treatment. Generally, the compounds of this invention are administered at a concentration level that affords protective effects without any deleterious side effects. These antiinflammatorily effective concentration levels are usually obtained within a therapeutic range of 1.0 mg to 500 mg/kg per day, with a preferred range of to 100 mg/kg per day.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity The compounds of this invention also exhibit utility as antibacterial agents against a number of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganism, such as, Staphylococcus pyogenes, both penicillin sensitive and penicillin resistant, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Salmonella pullorum, Pseudomonas aerugenosa, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens and as antifungal agents against a number of pathogenic fungi such as, Candida albicans, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton granulosum, in standard tests for antibacterial and antifungal activity, such as those described in Antiseptics, Disinfec tants, Fungicides and Sterilization, G.F. Reddish, Ed., 2nd ed., Lea and Febiger, Philadelphia, 1957 or by DC. Grove and W.A. Randall in Assay Methods of Antibiotics, Med. Encycl. lnc., New York 1955.

When the compounds of this invention are employed as antibiotic or antifungal agents in warm-blooded animals, e.g., rats, they may be administered alone or in combination with pharmacologically acceptable carriers. The proportion of the compound is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard biological practice. For example, they may be administered orally in solid form containing such excipients as starch, milk sugar, certain types of clay and so forth. They may also be administered orally in the form of solutions or they may be injected parenterally. For parenteral administration they may be used in the form of a sterile solution containing other solutes, for example, enough saline or glucose to make the solution isotonic.

The dosage of the present therapeutic agents as antibiotic or antifungal agents will vary with the form of administration and the particular compound chosen. Furthermore, it will vary with the particular host under treatment. Generally, treatment is initiated with small dosages substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. In general, the compounds of this invention are most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford antibactcrially or antifungally effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects and preferably at a level that is in a range of from about 1.0 mg. to about 1,000 mg. per kilo per day, although as aforementioned variations will occur. However, a dosage level that is in the range of from about 10 mg. to about 500 mg. per kilo per day is most desirably employed in order to achieve effective results.

In addition, the agents may be employed topically. For topical application they may beformulated in the form of solutions, creams, or lotions in pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles containing 0.1 5 percent, preferably 2 percent, of the agent and may be administered topically to the infected area of the skin.

Also the antibacterial properties of the compounds of this invention may be utilized for washing equipment in hospitals, homes and farms, instruments used in medicine and bacteriology, clothing used in bacteriological laboratories, and floors, walls and ceiling in rooms in which a background free of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, such as those listed above, is desired. When employed in this manner the compounds of this invention may be formulated in a number of compositions comprising the active compound and an inert material. In such compositions, while the compounds of formula I of this invention may be employed in concentrations as low as 500 p.p.m., from a practical point of view, it is desirable to use from about 0.10 percent by weight, to about 5 percent by weight or more.

The formulations that may be used to prepare antiseptic wash solutions of the compounds of this invention are varied and may readily be accomplished by standard techniques, see for example, Remingtons Practice of Pharmacy, E.W. Martin et al., Eds., 12th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Penn., 1961, pp. 1,121-1150. In general, the compounds may be made up in stock solutions. They can also be formulated as suspensions in an aqueous vehicle. These make useful mixtures for decontaminating premises. Also, aqueous vehicles containing emulsifying agents, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, and relatively high concentrations, e.g., up to about 5 percent by weight, of the compounds may be formulated by conventional techniques.

Preparation of Compounds In practising this invention the preferred starting materials are enaminoketones of formula III. The enaminoketone, 5 ,5 -dimethyl-3-benzylamino-2- cyclohexen-l-one (III, R and R CH and R benzyl), is well known and a convenient preparation for this enaminoketone from dimedone benzylamine has been described by P. Crabbe, et al., Tetrahedron, 24, 4299 (1968). By following the procedure of Crabbe, et al., the remaining enaminoketones of formula III in which R, R and R are as described above may be'prepared readily. For example, treating dimedone with furfurylamine gives 5 ,S-dimethyl-3-furfurylamino-Lcyclohexen- 1 -one and treating 1,3-cyclohexanedione with benzylamine or furfurylamine gives 3-benzylamino-2-cyclohexen-lone and 3-furfurylamino-2-cyclohexen-1-one, respectively. 1

Treatment of the starting material of formula III with an isocyanate or isothiocyanate of formula R NCX in which R is as described above and X is oxygen or sulfur, yields the corresponding vinylogous amido compound of formula II in which R1, R R and X are as described above. This process may conveniently be accomplished without a solvent but may also be effected in an inert boiling solvent, for example, benzene toluene or xylene. The temperature of the reaction may range from 80C. to about 200C. and reaction time from minutes to about 4 days. Although the time and temperature required to effect this reaction is dependent on the reactivity of the particular isocyanate or isothiocyanate of formula R NCX employed, reaction conditions ranging from 115 to 145C. and onehalf to 3 hours in time have been found to be convenient and practical. Furthermore it should be noted that in those cases where the reaction is performed at a temperature higher than the boiling point of the isocyanate or isothiocyanate of formula RNCX employed it is expedient to effect the reaction in an autoclave.

The isocyanates and isothiocyanates of formula and,

R NCX, used above, are either commercially available,

for example, methyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate or methyl isothiocyanate or have been described in general textbooks on organic chemistry, for example,"

only

Amsterdam, 1965, pp. 357-361 and 369-373 and references therein.

Finally, the vinylogous amido compounds of formula II are treated with an amine of formula NH -(Alk)-Y in which Alk and Y are as defined above whereby transamination is'effected to yield the desired carboxamides and thiocarboxam'ides of formula 1. Again, this process is carried out conveniently without a solvent although an inert solvent, for example, toluene or xylene, may be used. A reaction temperature ranging from to 200C. and a reaction time from 1 hour to about 4 days may be used; however, temperatures ranging from to C and times of 12 to 24 hours have been found to be efficient and practical.

The aminoalkylamines and hydroxyalkylamines of formula NH -(Alk)-Y, used above, are either commercially available, for example, dimethylaminoethylamine, 3-methylaminopropylamine or l-amino-2-propanol, or have been described previously, for example, see Rodds Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, cited above, Vol. 1D, pp. 34-43.

In a related aspect of this invention it has been found that the vinylogous amido compounds of formula II in which X is oxygen react with hydrazine whereby not transamination is effected but also an aminopyrazole ring is formed by means of an additional mole of hydrazine reacting with the -oxo-l-cyclohexene-l-carboxamide moiety. In this manner, for exam- 2-benzylarnino-4,4-dimethyl-6-oxo-N-phenyl-1 cyclohexene-l-carboxamide reacts with excess hydrazine to yield -3-anilino 1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-7,7- dimethyl-SH-indazol-S-one hydrazone, m.p. 2l9-220 C., which on treatment with hydrochloric acid in ethanol affords 3-anilino-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6,6- dimethyl-4H-indazol-4-one, m.p. 270-27lC.

The following examples will illustrate further this invention.

An excess of free amine is removed under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in ml of diluted HCl (1:10). The aqueous solution is extracted with benzene and ether. The extract is filtered with charcoal. The filtrate is rendered basic with 50 ml of 15% NaOT-l and extracted with chloroform exhaustively. The combined extracts are washed with water. satd. NaCl solution, dried over MgSO4, filtered and then acidified with solution of HCl in ether. Solvents are evaporated. The remaining solid is dissolved in 100 ml of absolute acetone and allowed to stand for 3 days in a refrigerator. The precipitate is collected yielding the hydrochloride acid addition salt of the title compound, 2-[3'(dimethylamino)propylamino]-4, 4-dimethyl-6-oxo-N-phenyl-1- cyclohexene- 1 -carboxamide hydrochloride, mp 192194C.

The title compound (free base, y 1630 cm) is obtained by decomposing the hydrochloric acid addition salt, for example, by washing a chloroform solution of the salt with 10 percent sodium hydroxide solution and evaporatingthe solvent.
